    '72 Rewind: A New Murderers' Row? (The Chicago Baseball Museum will pay tribute to Dick Allen and the 1972 White Sox in a June 25 fundraiser at U.S. Cellular Field. We will chronicle the events of that epic season here in the weeks ahead. Sport magazine published this story in its August, 1972 edition.) By George Vass Posted on Monday, May 28 In Chuck Tanner's mind there is no question that he has a new “Murderer's Row” in the making in his White Sox. “I'm already convinced that this is the most power- ful hitting team the Sox have had in their history,” said Manager Tanner, “although I don't know if you could call it a 'Murderers' Row' in the old sense. “But potentially it is a 'Murderers' Row' of a differ- ent kind. What I mean by that is that while we have great home run power we also have a balance of fine line-drive hitters, men like Pat Kelly. We have both power and .300 hitting in good balance in our line-up. Allen, Melton and May form one of “When the phrase Murderers' Row is used it brings baseball's potent power trios. to mind the kind of teams in the past that had great home run power, but not necessarily the line-drive hitting, the balance of speed and power that we have.” As the Sox amply demonstrated by their early foot this season, led by the bombardment of Bill Melton, Dick Allen, Carlos May, Ed Herrmann, and Ken Henderson, they have the kind of power attributed to legendary clubs of the past.
